Patna high court stays Bihar’s caste-based survey

Hindustan Times  

The Patna high court on Thursday issued an interim order staying Bihar’s caste-based survey, saying prima facie the state government has no power to carry it out and the manner in which it has been fashioned would amount to a census and impinge upon Parliament’s legislative power. The court expressed concern over the government’s intention to share data from the survey with the leaders of parties in the state assembly. The Bihar cabinet on June 2 last year decided to conduct the caste-based survey in the state months after the Union government ruled out such an exercise at the national level. The judges said they would grant interim relief to the petitioners if they found the state government either exceeded its powers to commission such a survey, did not follow the due process, or if there was an infringement of the privacy of the respondents.
